Sturgis Memories of an Average Missippi White Boy: (1939-53) - Paperback

by Walter Donald Foster (Author)

This book is about the life of a boy up to the age of fourteen, including his family, friends, other adults, and pets in his East Central Missippi village: adventures, disasters, joy, sadness, good and bad times, suffering, sorrow, exhilaration, adversity, enjoyment, danger, safety, injuries, dangerous games (some including girls), meager living, great food, fun and love, fights, no-pads tackle football, correcting bullies, school, teachers, salvation, funeral, hard work, hobbies, wrecks, entertainment, WWII, and adult inspiration and molding.

This book gave him great appreciation and satisfaction. It is a gift to his offspring to answer the questions that were unimportant while he was alive. Walter Donald Foster is a warrior and crusader, especially defending the weak, helpless, abused, bullied, the children, the old, and the downtrodden. He speaks truth to power and is a risk-taker. His work experience varies as a laborer, union carpenter at fifteen, technician, union plant manager, and vice president of manufacturing.
